  • Keyboard Playing and the Mechanization of Polyphony in Italian Music, Circa 1600
    Keyboard Playing and the Mechanization of Polyphony in Italian Music, Circa 1600 By Leon Chisholm A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Music in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Kate van Orden, Co-Chair Professor James Q. Davies, Co-Chair Professor Mary Ann Smart Professor Massimo Mazzotti Summer 2015 Keyboard Playing and the Mechanization of Polyphony in Italian Music, Circa 1600 Copyright 2015 by Leon Chisholm Abstract Keyboard Playing and the Mechanization of Polyphony in Italian Music, Circa 1600 by Leon Chisholm Doctor of Philosophy in Music University of California, Berkeley Professor Kate van Orden, Co-Chair Professor James Q. Davies, Co-Chair Keyboard instruments are ubiquitous in the history of European music. Despite the centrality of keyboards to everyday music making, their influence over the ways in which musicians have conceptualized music and, consequently, the music that they have created has received little attention. This dissertation explores how keyboard playing fits into revolutionary developments in music around 1600 – a period which roughly coincided with the emergence of the keyboard as the multipurpose instrument that has served musicians ever since. During the sixteenth century, keyboard playing became an increasingly common mode of experiencing polyphonic music, challenging the longstanding status of ensemble singing as the paradigmatic vehicle for the art of counterpoint – and ultimately replacing it in the eighteenth century. The competing paradigms differed radically: whereas ensemble singing comprised a group of musicians using their bodies as instruments, keyboard playing involved a lone musician operating a machine with her hands.

She has performed solo recitals on the harpsichord, organ, and pedal harpsichord to critical acclaim throughout the United States and in Germany. Her PHILIPS performances as a collaborative artist, concerto soloist, and basso-continuo player have (1560/61–1628) also earned high praise. Her recording of Elisabeth-Claude Jacquet de La Guerre’s Suites Nos. 1-6 for Harpsichord (Naxos 8.557654-55) was awarded the Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik, Bestenliste 1/2006. Elizabeth Farr holds degrees in harpsichord and organ performance from Stetson University, the Juilliard School, and Harpsichord Works the University of Michigan, having studied with Paul Jenkins, Vernon de Tar, and Edward Parmentier. Currently she is on the faculty of the University of Colorado where Fantasia in F • Bonjour mon cœur • Io partirò she teaches harpsichord and organ, conducts the Early Music Ensemble, and offers classes in performance practices and basso-continuo playing. Elizabeth Farr The Harpsichord Jerome de Zentis was a consummate musical instrument-maker. He built instruments first in Rome, then in Florence for the Medici family, London as the ‘King’s Virginal Maker’, Stockholm as the instrument-maker to the court, Viterbo for the Pope, and finally in Paris for the King of France. The instrument used in this recording is one he made upon his return to Italy after ten years in Sweden as the instrument-maker royal to Queen Christina. This instrument is unusual because it is clearly an Italian instrument, but appears to have been made by a North German maker, or at least an Italian maker who was fully informed of the Northern European harpsichord-making practices and materials.

  • The Sackbut and Pre-Reformation English Church Music
    146 HISTORIC BRASS SOCIETY JOURNAL THE SACKBUT AND PRE-REFORMATION ENGLISH CHURCH MUSIC Trevor Herbert n the mid-1530s the household account books of the Royal Court in London showed that as many as twelve trombone players were in receipt of regular fees. If these accounts /signify all expenditure on Court music at that time, it can be estimated that an eighth of the wages bill for this part of its activities went to trombone players. The 1530s were something of a high point in this respect, but it remains the case that for the whole of the 16th century a corps of trombonists were, in effect, salaried members of the royal musical establishment.1 Yet, not a single piece of English music from this period is explicitly linked to the trombone. This in itselfis not significant, as the labelling of parts at this time was rare,2 but the illustration draws historians of brass instruments to a neat focus. Throughout the 16th century trombonists occupied a regular and important place in English musical life. The players were professionals, probably fine and distinguished performers: What did they play and when did they play it? In this article I address some issues concerning the deployment of trombones in the first half of the 16th century. It is worth stressing that musical practice in England in the 16th century was sufficiently different from the rest of Europe to merit special attention. As I explain below, the accession of Henry VII marks what many historians recognize as a watershed in British history. The death of his son Henry VIII in 1547 marks another.

  • Motive and Spatialization in Thomas Tallis' Spem in Alium Kevin Davis
    Motive and Spatialization in Thomas Tallis’ Spem in Alium Kevin Davis Abstract This paper is an analysis of Thomas Tallis’ 40-voice motet Spem in Alium. A piece of this scale and complexity posed challenges in terms of voice leading and counterpoint in this musical style due to its forces, scale, and complexity. In this analysis I suggest that Spem in Alium, due to the peculiarities of its nature, compelled Tallis to experiment with two specific elements—motive and spatialization, the specific treatment of which arises from the fundamental properties counterpoint and voice-leading and combines to create this unique form of antiphonal music. From this combination of factors, the piece’s distinctive “polyphonic detailism” emerges. 1 Origins of work and project Suggestions as to how and why such a work came to be are varied and unreliable. In her book Thomas Tallis and His Music in Victorian England, Suzanne Cole lists a variety of possible reasons claimed by different writers: an attempt to improve upon a 36-voice work of Ockeghem, for quasi-political reasons, as a response to a royal payment of 40 pounds, as a protest on behalf of forty generations of English Catholics slandered by the Protestant Reformation, and for Elizabeth I’s 40th birthday celebration2. Paul Doe in his book Tallis also suggests that is might have been for the sake of personal fulfillment, though as a sole motivation seems less likely.3 Thomas Legge in his preface to the score makes the most convincing argument as to its origin however: inspired by a performance of mass of 40 voices by Alessandro Striggio in London, June of 1557, Tallis was encouraged to undertake the challenge of composing a work with similar forces.

  • Tutti Brassi
    Tutti Brassi A brief description of different ways of sounding brass instruments Jeremy Montagu © Jeremy Montagu 2018 The author’s moral rights have been asserted Hataf Segol Publications 2018 Typeset in XƎLATEX by Simon Montagu Why Mouthpieces 1 Cornets and Bugles 16 Long Trumpets 19 Playing the Handhorn in the French Tradition 26 The Mysteries of Fingerhole Horns 29 Horn Chords and Other Tricks 34 Throat or Overtone Singing 38 iii This began as a dinner conversation with Mark Smith of the Ori- ental Institute here, in connexion with the Tutankhamun trum- pets, and progressed from why these did not have mouthpieces to ‘When were mouthpieces introduced?’, to which, on reflection, the only answer seemed to be ‘Often’, for from the Danish lurs onwards, some trumpets or horns had them and some did not, in so many cultures. But indeed, ‘Why mouthpieces?’ There seem to be two main answers: one to enable the lips to access a tube too narrow for the lips to access unaided, and the other depends on what the trumpeter’s expectations are for the instrument to achieve. In our own culture, from the late Renaissance and Early Baroque onwards, trumpeters expected a great deal, as we can see in Bendinelli’s and Fantini’s tutors, both of which are avail- able in facsimile, and in the concert repertoire from Monteverdi’s L’Orfeo onwards. As a result, mouthpieces were already large, both wide enough and deep enough to allow the player to bend the 11th and 13th partials and other notes easily. The transition from the base of the cup into the backbore was a sharp edge.

  • ACET Junior Academies'
    ACET Junior Academies’ Scheme of Work for music Year 5 Unit 1.1: A Musical Masque About this unit: This unit of work is linked to the History scheme of work HT 1.1 Post 1066 Study: The Tudors. It is a starting point for exploration into Tudor music. In it children will begin to learn about Tudor Dance music, in particular the Pavan as a popular Tudor dance. Children will identify its characteristic musical features and rhythms before attempting to dance the Pavan and performing their own Pavan melody over a drone accompaniment. Children will then move on to learn about traditional Tudor musical instruments before exploring Tudor songs and madrigal-style songs with a ‘fa, la, la, la’ refrain. Where they will compose their own lyrics to a madrigal melody. Fanfares are explored briefly before children work towards putting on a Tudor style banquet/concert combining elements of all the musical learning in to a class performance. Unit structure National Curriculum objectives: This unit is structured around six sequential music enquiries: 1. What is a Pavan? Links to previous and future National Curriculum 2. How do we perform a Pavan? units/objectives 3. What do Tudor instruments sound like? KS2 4. What is a Madrigal? ● Listen with attention to detail and recall sound with 5. What is a Fanfare? increasing aural memory. BBC Ten Pieces 6. A musical masque – banquet/concert. ● Appreciate and understand a wide range of high-quality live and recorded music drawn from different traditions and from great composers and musicians. ● Play and perform in solo ensemble contexts, using their voices and playing musical instruments with increasing accuracy, fluency, control and expression.

  • Tallis's Spem in Alium
    Spem in Alium – a comparatively review of fourteen recordings by Ralph Moore Background We know less about Thomas Tallis than Shakespeare or any other major cultural figure of the Tudor age; definite facts are few and reasonable inferences and conjectures are many, starting even with the dates of his birth – presumed to be around 1505 - and death - either 20th or 23rd November, 1585. The exact site of his grave in the chancel of the parish of St Alfege Church, Greenwich, is lost. We have no authenticated portrait. What we do know is that despite being a recusant Catholic, he not only survived those perilous times but prospered under a succession of Protestant monarchs, the sole Catholic being Edward VII’s sister Mary, who reigned for only five years, from 1553-1558. He was so valued and respected that Elizabeth gave him the lease on a manor house and a handsome income, and in 1575 he and his pupil William Byrd were granted an exclusive royal patent to print and publish polyphonic music. The key to his survival must lie in his discretion, flexibility and, above all, prodigious talent: he is indubitably one of the greatest English composers of his or any age and a towering figure in Renaissance choral music. His masterpiece is certainly the forty-voice motet Spem in alium but here again, verified facts regarding its origin and first performance are few. The original manuscript is lost and our knowledge of the work is derived from another score prepared for the investiture in 1610 of James I’s elder son, Henry, as Prince of Wales, and used again for the coronation in 1625 of his younger brother, Charles I, next in line to the throne after Harry’s death in 1612 from typhoid fever at eighteen years old.
